Des histoires avec lendemains

Abstract: Depuis l’avènement du tourisme à Zanzibar, les plages de l’archipel tanzanien sont le lieu de rencontres intimes fréquentes entre touristes et populations locales. Si l’intimité amicale entretenue par les beach boys avec les vacanciers constitue surtout une manière d’assurer des transactions commerciales dans un contexte marqué par l’incertitude de l’informalité, l’intimité sexuelle et amoureuse avec les vacancières fonctionne, quant à elle, comme un cadre efficace d’accumulation de capitaux, non seulement éco… Show more
